ARIADNE

Ian asked me to stay with Annelise while he went to check the patrols and talk to John about him and Annelise, but I refused, as I wanted to check the cleanup downstairs. He settled to lock her inside the apartment instead. Said he felt better with her locked in with so many guests around.

He portrayed his worry about Annelise not waking up, but he also told me that Jessica, his stepmother, who was a doctor, had already checked her vitals and reassured him that she was just sleeping. Maybe Annelise was far too exhausted from the trip, or the witch had made her sleep for the night. Many scenarios swarmed my mind, but nothing bad for the matter, and I always had an instinct for bad things. But if—in the worst-case scenario—the witch did something harmful to her, I swear she’d find it from me.

One more heart to uproot!

I thought, shrugging my shoulders as I absentmindedly headed upstairs instead of heading down.

Why was I here? I forgot what I wanted to do, and subconsciously my

    ARIADNE“Ok, let’s just have this dance.” I sighed, and deep down, I hoped I wouldn’t regret it.A wide smile emerged on David’s face, and he extended his hand for me to take. Reluctantly, I took it, following his lead to the center of the room, where we had more space to dance.He asked Alexa to play something from his list, and a song from Lady Gaga started playing. [Remember us this way]I’d heard it before, and I knew her voice. It was characteristic.I placed my left hand on his shoulder and the right on his hand, and I started following his lead. It’s been more than twenty-two years since we last danced, but it felt like it was yesterday. Our bodies worked in sync and mine knew how to follow each step, how to react to each tug or pull. As the song went on and I was listening to the lyrics, I understood why he had picked it.This.Our dance.Me in his arms.Flowing to the music.Swaying like one.He wanted to make a memory of us as we used to be as a mated couple and, of course, c

    ARIADNEThere was no rationality in me anymore. No more logic. I was just acting head-on without thinking.I was just enjoying his touch. His kisses. The way his tongue was sensually moving against my lips, seeking more. The way his hands were roaming all over my body, caressing my upper arms and all the way down. Then to my hips.My own hands moved with a mind of their own, on his wide chest, feeling his tough muscles underneath his shirt. Ambling them to the sides, I ghosted with my fingers over his biceps, reminiscing the way his strong arms used to lift me with ease, then my legs were wrapping around his waist, as he was steadying me on a sturdy surface, and he had his way with me.Memories… I had so many memories that I dug deep in my mind. Refusing to let them resurface, because remembering them hurt. It hurt like a bitch. But it didn’t affect me now. Because right now, all the dreams that I had suppressed were slowly turning into a reality.My hands returned to his chest. All th

    DAVIDI understood she wanted to tell me something when we ascended with the elevator. But she never spoke, and I just headed to my room, wondering what she had on the tip of her tongue to tell me.I got into the shower to wash away my shame for failing her tonight. She got almost killed; she was injured, and there was no one to blame but me.When I finished, I glanced from my window, and all our guests had probably retreated to their rooms. The only people I saw were the staff gathering the tables and cleaning up, so instead of wearing another suit, I helped myself with jeans.I knew I had to talk to Ian tonight. I told him that we would talk after he let John know and asked for permission to leave. Ian was a man of duty, and I could tell that he hated he had to go away, but right now, his priority was his mate. Not the pack, not his duties as a Beta.I made it for so many years without a Luna, a GammaW, and with my Beta absent in the city sometimes, so I was certain that John wouldn’

    ARIADNEI jolted up from my sleep, drenched in sweat and hyperventilating.No. No. No. NO!That can’t be happening. That can’t be happening. Damn!I couldn’t have sex with David; that was unacceptable.I was so close to a panic attack. Breathe, Ariadne, just breathe.I focused on my surroundings. I was in my room. The one next to David. Not in his room.Oh, God. What have I done?But wait! Being here was a good sign. I focused on my breathing, trying to remember what exactly happened. As my pulse dropped and my panic receded, my memory seemed to catch up with me.We were interrupted. Thank God we were interrupted.FLASHBACK (Last night)“Let me heal you, please. For my sanity and for Zeus’s as well.” David pleaded, and I let him.He licked my injury, and except for the wetness of his saliva, I also felt wetness trickling down my pussy. Healing your mate had an arousing effect, but I wasn’t his mate anymore. Why was I feeling like that? And the worst? David had caught my scent and was b

    JOHNI was less than a minute out of the office when I bumped into Agatha. Ian was already heading out for his run, so I was alone.“Oh, just the person I needed. Alpha John…” She waved at me, approaching. Alpha Cornelious was standing by the door just outside Dad’s office.“Mrs. Agatha.” I started and was interrupted by a loud cackle. I swear her laughter was aimed to awaken all our guests! My intention was solely to be polite at that moment.“It’s Agatha.” She instructed when she finally managed to compose herself. “So, I needed your help, because I don’t want to freak out the poor people…”“Just tell me why Annelise isn’t coming to her senses?” Ian snapped, interrupting her, walking toward us in long strides. He might have heard her and returned.“Oh! Just kiss her good morning, Beta Ian. Easy peasy! A true love’s kiss has the power to solve almost anything. A mate’s kiss is even better!” She marveled.Ok! She was a witch. Witches and fairytales go hand in hand, no?“Are you sure? I

I tried to speak sense into him a million times and make him understand that he shouldn’t degrade his bloodline by accepting a mere human for a mate. But he never listened. He didn’t even want to hear my arguments from some point on. He always stopped me before I could even start talking.I was so relieved when she dumped him and left him. Hoping for a second chance mate for him. A strong Alpha female. That was what David was worthy of.I was mated to a special Alpha female, and he? He was mated to a Nothing.

    DAVIDThe meeting last night went well. I was confident, and I had faith that Ian would make it through it all unharmed.Before eating breakfast, John and I went to the warrior’s dining room in the packhouse. Because a few guests had already begun their breakfast, it was essential for us to make our presence felt like hospitable hosts. When all the pleasantries ended, we went to the other dining room where we used to eat.I sat in my seat, glancing at Ariadne, who was sitting silently, picking her food. John and Annelise were bantering, and Ian was drooling over her.I didn’t want to speak in case I told something and provoked or annoyed Annelise, so I kept silent. I should think of a way to approach her when she finally comes and claims her post as a Beta Female of this pack. Jessica, Ian’s stepmother, never wanted to take on these duties.

    CHAPTER 2 - She Finally Found MeIAN‘Hey, you there?’ John, my soon-to-be Alpha mind links.I’m just fixing my hair in front of the mirror, threading the comb through my black locks, trying to tame them into place. I like to have the sides of my hair short, but I prefer to keep the center slightly longer and style it upwards with gel or wax.‘Yup.’ I reply, popping the p. I’m in a very good mood today. And why not? Today is the transition of the Alphas in our pack. My now-Alpha David Nathaniel Fortner is passing the torch to his son, John Patrick. A son whose existence was ignorant for fifteen whole years. Back then, before John’s mother and Alpha David’s ex-mate Luna Ariadne decided to bring him to our pack, Alpha David intended to have me as his heir, not only as Alpha to the Golden Moon Pack but to his entire fortune.But luck was in my favor, I guess, because out of nowhere, when I was struggling and ready to drop out of the Alpha training, the rightful heir showed up, and to say

    CHAPTER 1 - Watch MeANNELISE“For the third time, Tony. I’m asking you.” I try to keep my voice steady and firm. “Where were you last night?”“Annelise, I’ve told you already. I had to work overtime.”“In that member of the parliament? As security?” I taunt.“Exactly. I’ve told you a thousand times.” Tony whines.“Yes, but I don’t believe you,” I utter, and I have solid proofs in my hands.“You should.” He glances once again in his sports bag to see if he has all his gear inside.“I called the police station, you know…” I trail, and his head snaps in my direction, his eyes throwing daggers at me. “Your colleague told me that you left when your shift ended, dressed in plain clothes, not in your uniform.” I quip. Well, to be exact, I asked what he was wearing, pretending we had a date, and I didn’t want to miss our reservation at a restaurant.“How dare you?” He fumes, prowling at me menacingly. He grabs my chin, turning me to look into his eyes. “How dare you, Annelise? Calling at my j

    JOHNSIX MONTHS LATERI jump up from bed, super excited. Today is the day! It’s finally her birthday! All the waiting, all these days. Oh God, it’s in the past. I don’t have to wait anymore.I’ll call her. Wish her ‘Happiest Birthday.’ Ask her out. Go pick her up for our date. Smell her. Make sure she is my mate. I hope. Fingers crossed. Bring her back home, and we live happily ever after. That easy! But of course, fate always has different plans and if you want to make God laugh, just tell him your plans. Mama’s wise words.I wish it was that easy.I glance at my phone. Argh, it’s still six o’clock in the morning. Damnit!It’s too early to call her, right? I don’t want to wake her up or freak her out. She’d be like: ‘Ehm, what were you doing? Watching me in your sleep?’Well, head-scratching. Obviously… For every night those past six months. There wasn’t a single night I hadn’t dreamed of her, and I don’t plan to spend another night with my bed empty and her not by my side.I waited.

    JOHNI waved off Mama, Annelise, and Ian with a heavy heart. For the freshly mated couple, I was certain that everything would run smoothly and soon my sister would return as the Beta Female of the Pack.Hmmm, maybe I should buy her a saddle for Herc now that I’m thinking about it. Yes, as a welcoming gift.But my Mama? What happened to her? She was crying, and she was upset. And she lied, yeah, like… right on my face. Mama would always evade the truth with diplomacy instead of lying. But now she didn’t even register that she just uttered a lie because the next moment she came up with another. I didn’t pressure her. I didn’t tell her that I knew she was lying. I just let her go. It seemed that things were already awkward; I shouldn’t meddle in and make them worse.I sighed. I knew that soon we would have to see our guests off, but honestly, now this was the last thought that occupied my mind.First and foremost was Gabriella. Always Gabriella.
